Review: The Enemy by Kelsey Clayton

The Enemy by Kelsey Clayton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review.

Lennon and Cade met during an odd time and boy did they not hit it off very well. When they find out their parents are dating, it just went downhill from there.

Cade is a very angry guy, who is mad at the world. Everything is falling apart around him and he wants revenge against Lennon's dad.

And Lennon is a bit naive, to be honest. But that's okay, she had her future planned out and isn't going to let anything distract her... until Cade came into the picture.

Honestly, this book is an emotional disaster. These two characters can't make up their minds on how they feel and they are all over the place so the time. It's very hard to not get whiplash. And Lennon drive me crazy at the beginning, basically toggling 3 guys around. I was honestly rooting for Colby because I think he would have settled down for Lennon.

Overall I enjoyed this novel and I'm glad I got a chance to read this book!

Troublemaker by Kayley Loring
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review. 

Alex and Emilia were on fire the first moment they met and it only got hotter throughout the book! I was hooked from the first chapter and didn't put this book down until, sadly, it was over. 

I love that Emilia decided once and for all she was finally done with her distant ex-boyfriend. And that she went to LA to teach like she always wanted to, but was always turned down by her ex. Good for her for finally going after her dreams and she found so much more than she was expecting. 

And Alex is amazing. He's an amazing father, and I love that he is mature and not into partying or getting with any female who smiles at him. He has lived through that faze and now he knows what he wants and he goes after what he wants. 

Ryder is hilarious. He is a little stinker who is waaay too smart for his age. I love how much he adores both his mom and dad, even though they are divorced. He wants everyone to be happy, and by golly he knows how to make that happen! 

Also, this book made me crack up SO MANY TIMES!!! I seriously had to put the book down for a moment because I was laughing so hard. I loved every word, every minute of reading this book and I'm so glad I have been introduced to this author, who may now by a new favorite of mine! I am definitely going to be reading more books by Kayley Loring! I definitely recommend this novel!

Review: A Fallen Star by A.M. Kusi

A Fallen Star by A.M. Kusi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review. 

Mikal and Remy are complete opposites from the beginning to the end of this novel, which of course means they are perfect for each other. 

I really feel for Mikal. He had a crappy childhood which had made him suffer for the rest of his life. He made bad decisions that had lasting effects and he really had PTSD as a result. Remy was a temporary cure and made him forget for a moment his dark part, but not even her love and her pureness was able to heal him completely. 

Remy was so naive at the beginning of this book, but by the end she had been through her share of pain and growing up. 

I really enjoyed this novel and this was my first book by this author. I'm very invested in this series and the other characters I'm hoping will have their own story, so I will definitely be in the look out for the next book in this series!

Review: Take My Place by Louise Rose / G. Bailey

Take My Place: A High School Bully Romance by Louise Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

This series is packed with drama and lies! I'm very intrigued on how things will wrap up for Ivy in book 3, since book 4 and 5 are side character spin off books.

Ivy is going through a lot of crappy things right now. I really wished she would have just stayed away from King Academy - her life would be much more simple right now. Also, I'm so tired of everyone jerking Ivy around. This is like the 17th century where arranged marriages happen in the norm. STOP TRYING TO MARRY IVY OFF TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!!!! Or the man who can be puppeted around the most. 

And Ivy.... she kinda got on my nerves this book because she just can't make up her mind about which guy she likes, and she's not telling any of them that she likes all 3. She's not REALLY cheating because she doesn't want to be engaged, but honesty is always the best policy. Except she lives in a world where secrets are power so no one is being honest about anything.....

I enjoyed this novel but I definitely liked book 1 better. I'm hoping Ivy figured even out soon and stops letting the men in her life pull her around so much. I like females who are independent and strong and Ivy felt a bit weak in this book. 

I'm glad I got a chance to read this and I'm looking forward to the next book!

Review: Ice Cold Boss by Olivia Hayle

Ice Cold Boss by Olivia Hayle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from Booksirens and the author. This is my honest review. 

The synopsis instantly grabbed my attention for this book and I'm really glad I took a chance and read this eARC. 

I love how Faye goes after what she wants. She's been going through a lot of crappy things lately, but she is always proving that she is worth the best results. And I seriously loved her cover letter to Henry's company. It's what everyone wants to write but never will if they to get a serious job. 

The competition between Henry and Faye was more dominate, I felt, than the attraction. They were always trying to beat the other one. I felt this was a slow burning romance between the two, which I was happy with because I loved how it focused on their career and their passion for their job. 

This was my first novel by this author and I might see if I can grab more books in this series! Glad I got a chance to read this!

Review: Bully King by J.A. Huss

Bully King by J.A. Huss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review. 

I have recently discovered that I really enjoy bully romances,  enemies-to-lovers novels, but I'm discovering that they are all unique in their own way. And J.A. Huss really created a fantastic story with so many twists and turns. 

Bully King is so much more than a group of guys bullying a girl. It's about a forced lifestyle. About acting, taking the bad with the worse. Sure the kids are terrible snots who act entitled, but there is a reason for that. Such a sad reason. 

I'm so very confused on why Cadee stayed in this place. I don't even care that she said it's because she won't let them win. She, out of everyone there, has a legit reason to leave and she...stays... Why?! I think she's more messed up than most of the other kids there, to be honest. 

Cooper is very naive. I think he's checked out of this life and was never really made to be a part of this lifestyle, which is great. But if you're going to be "King", you better step up your game instead of ignore everything...

I'm not surprised by the ending. I knew something didn't add up, so I'm glad some things were brought to light. I do know this is a duet so I'm intrigued on what book 2 will bring. 

I'm very glad I got a chance to read this book and get an introduction to this authors work. J.A. Huss is an author I'll be on the lookout for sure in the future!

Review: Cherished by Jagger Cole

Cherished by Jagger Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

This is a great novel! Definitely Beast from Beauty and the Beast vibes when it comes to Hunter and how crazy he is toward Mia. I love how he risked everything for her - twice!  - to protect her. Mia may be naive, but she's definitely not dumb and she knows that there is a connection between the two of them. 

Some people might think Hunter is too much, but I loved how protective, possessive, and dominating he was toward Mia. 

This was a great, quick read and I'm looking forward to more by Jagger Cole!

Review: Sexiled by Mickey Miller

Sexiled: an enemies-to-lovers standalone by Mickey Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mickey Miller is now an author that I automatically buy books from - especially this series because I love these books so so much! And I must definitely loved this book! 

I love that Morgan and April connected with each other in a deeper level with their shared grief. It wasn't just physical, though they didn't have an issue in that category..., but they really listened to one another and really cared about what they think and feel.

And I loved seeing all of the previous characters from book 1 and 2. I'm so excited to see who will be next! 

Having this book set in Puerto Rico was great. A different scenery than a college campus and it made me forget that April was a college student still. 

Morgan is a very upfront and blunt person, except when it comes to April, which is refreshing that he isn't keeping things a secret all the time. 

I don't feel like these two were enemies at all. Just confused and hurt. I love enemies to lovers stories, but this didn't need the enemies aspect because I fell in love with these two from the moment they met with the peach encounter and the volley ball match! 

I'm so glad I got to read this novel and I'm looking forward to many more in the future!

Review: Reckless Kiss by Tia Louise

Reckless Kiss by Tia Louise
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions.  This is my honest review.  

This is my first book I've read by Tia Louise, and I was HOOKED from the beginning!  I love Tia's writing and I was entranced into this story immediately.  

I don't read too many forbidden love stories, but Angel (I'm going to call her Angel in this review since that is what Deacon called her throughout the whole novel) and Deacon's story really got my attention and kept me invested to see how things would work out for them.  I love how they first met when Angel bumped into him and they instantly had a connection.  And that they were it for one another and knew they were.  They never strayed or got interested in anyone else - it was love at first sight.  Usually those stories bother me because that doesn't tend to be true too much, but I was able to feel how they felt toward one another and it was very sweet to read about two people who felt that intense toward one another.  

I really felt for Angel when she had to deal with her brother.  I get that in Hispanic culture, staying and living with family for forever is common, but Angel didn't necessarily grow up with that mind set and she's an adult.  When her brother comes barging into her life and almost forcing her to move in with him and take his money and his fancy things, I would have rebelled way harder than Angel did.  I know she is trying to stay close to her family members, but I am a very independent person, so that would have rubbed me the wrong way.  

I also really loved Deacon.  He was so TENACIOUS to find out what had happened between their two families to do so with proof to make things right.  I mean, he spent a month going after clue after clue, and I just really loved that he did that to finally put things right between everyone because he loves Angel so much. 

Sophie, Angel's cousin, is adorable and I loved her innocence in this sometimes dark novel.  And Aunt Winnie!  At first she was a snob, but when she brought out that shot gun?! She got my respect and attention all at the same time. 

I really enjoyed this novel and I'm really glad I got a chance to read this book.  I am definitely going to look into more of Tia Louise's novels and her upcoming books as well!

Review: Storm Gods by G. Bailey

Storm Gods by G. Bailey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

Karma sure has a lot going on right now, and from the looks of it is not going to slow down any time soon. This book was action packed from the very beginning until the end. I felt like Karma was a bit more emotional than the other two books in this last one, which really the me of because she was depicted as such a tough person at the beginning. But, again, she had a lot going on. 

As always, I'm very glad I was able to read this series and G. Bailey is an author I'm always excited to get a new book from!

Review: Sin Bin by Mandi Beck

Sin Bin by Mandi Beck
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I got this for free on Amazon a little while ago and thought I'd give it a try. And it was an okay novel. I know it was part of an anthology, so it's a bit short, but a lot actually happens and it kept my attention through the whole story.

I love Stella. She didn't care that Jason was an NHL player, she was just attracted to him and wanted to scratch an itch. She had her life all planned out and nothing was going to sway her away.... or so she thought. But when her plans changed, she took it in stride and made a new plan. She didn't go to Jason for help and that makes me admire her and love her so much.

And Jason is really more than a jock. Maybe because he's older and got the twenty something stupidness out of the way, but he also had a few moments where he acted like the famous hockey player.

Stella and Jason round each other out and are perfect for one another. I'm glad I took a chance and read this book. I may have to read more books by this author!

Review: Best Friend's Sister by Alexis Winter

Best Friend's Sister by Alexis Winter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

I have been with this family from the beginning and I have adored each of their stores, but I really liked Hudson's! I don't typically like best-friends sibling stories because there are so many secrets and lies that happen through the whole book, but I was able to get past this in this novel. 

I really feel for Deven and all the terrible crap she's been through. Granted, she did a lot of it on her own for attention, but no 13 year old should have to cry out for a parents love. 

From the beginning, the sparks between Deven and Hudson were off the charts, and they only got hotter with every scene. 

I loved seeing the other Slade Brothers and their families, and I'm glad that all of the brothers are together and settled down now. With A LOT of kids to handle too.

I'm really glad I got a chance to read this novel and the series and I can't wait to see what else Alexis Winter comes up with next!

Review: Can You Hear It by Casey Diam

Can You Hear It by Casey Diam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions. This is my honest review. 

Falling in love with your high school sweetheart was not Averie's intention, but she was so in love with James. But when James dies in a football game, moving on is so inconceivable to get. The only thing she wants to do is numb the pain away. 

In her senior year of high school, she transfers to the school on the other side of town. A new start, as her mother says. Averie is just trying to make it through the year and then leave to somewhere where no one will put her. She is definitely not looking for love, and ESPECIALLY  not looking at any football players. 

...except she keeps running into, literally, Ashton, the schools quarterback. Ash seems distance, like he doesn't like her, even though they don't know each other. It wouldn't bother Averie, except she has this insane attraction toward him.

But Ash is hiding a secret, one he knows will have Averie running as fast as she can. And the longer they get to know each other, the thought of Averie not in his life breaks his heart. 

This is one deep, hard core novel! And I loved it! This is my first book by Casey Diam and I love the writing so much. I may be doing some catch up to read past books :)

To go through what Averie has gone though is devastating. I don't blame her for trying to numb the pain. I'm so glad that Ash couldn't ignore her silent cry for help and helped her out of her bad habits. 

And Ash... man he's gone through so much too. And him trying to ignore Averie because of his condition to save her from more pain? It was really selfless even though he's been crushing on her for years. 

I was cheering these two on from the beginning and even though the road was a bit bumpy, with a lot of unexpected hiccups along the way, seeing these two open to each other, learning to trust each other with deep secrets, was so inspiring and so romantic. 

I'm so so glad I got to read this novel and I'm definitely going to look into this author, and the other books in the series, after this!

Review: Tyrant by Jagger Cole

Tyrant by Jagger Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

This book could have gone either way if I loved it or hated it. Being forced to stay with a king in a foreign country, when he tells you his obvious attraction to you? Seems a bit much. But because of Claire's strong reaction to Enzo, it was controlling and demanding in a very intense and sweet way. 

I love that Claire was able to clearly show off Enzo's country and make the whole world see his country the correct way. 

I also loved the show burn, but insanely hot kisses these two had. They actually didn't give into temptation automatically like I expected they would. Instead they got to know each other and realized that they were meant to be together forever. 

I think this may by my favorite Jagger Cole novel to date! The tension and attraction between these two will stick with me for awhile now!

Bartender with Benefits by Mickey Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mason is my favorite character out of the Blackwell series, so I was so excited to read this book! 

I don't usually like best-friends of sibling novels because the characters are always concerned about the sibling finding out and making everything a secret. That happened a few times in this book, but because it was all "fake" it changed that dynamic a little bit. 

I love the history of Clarissa and Mason. They have been entwined and entangled with each other for YEARS and it was past time for them to finally express their true feelings. I also love how protective he was, and is, of her. 

This book is majority through Mason's point of view, which I am thrilled about. Seeing him fall harder and harder for Clarissa was phenomenal. 

I am so glad I got to read this series, but I'm especially glad I got to read Mason and Clarissa's sorry. Can't wait to read more by this author!

Review: Boss with Benefits by Mickey Miller

Boss with Benefits by Mickey Miller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So far I've really enjoyed this series, but this book kinda fell short for me. The beginning was confusing because Sebastian was so focused on getting the property that Brett's family house was in, but then Brett decided to work for Sebastian and now the thought of getting that property has vanished. 

Then Brett is bored at work and wants to be a writer, so she starts writing a romance/erotica novel at her brand new job... seems a bit ballsy to me. 

This book went through so many different events that I felt a bit disconnected from it. I was waiting to see what big evert was going to happen, but there wasn't an obvious peak.

Also the epilogue? It left me with way more questions that are now left unanswered. 

I also think that maybe I felt distant from this one because we don't really know to much about Sebastian from the pros novels and it was just suddenly all about this character we haven't been introduced to before. 

Overall this was an okay book and I'm very excited to read the next book in the series!

Review: Mechanic with Benefits by Mickey Miller

Mechanic with Benefits by Mickey Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Liam intrigued me in Cole and Rose's story, so I was really happy that the next book was his! Being the grumpy mechanic, Liam usually hides in his garage fixing cars. But when Haley's car breaks down and she had to trek to the closest auto shop, Liam's simple life is about to change.

The beginning of this book was a bit on and off for me. Haley and Liam hate each other, they go get her car, they are having sex. Then they hate each other, get back to town, go to Liam's house and have sex. Then Haley convinces Liam to be her date for her sisters wedding... while still hating each other and having sex... I just didn't like the back and forth of their heightened emotion.

Afterwards, though, I got into the story and started appreciating their banter. I loved how Liam didn't give a shit about anything. The situation with Jade and Jake seemed like a lot of drama at once, but that's honestly what their relationship is from the get go.

Overall I really enjoyed this story and I'm enjoying the boys of Blackwell!

Review: Professor with Benefits by Mickey Miller

Professor with Benefits by Mickey Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm not typically a fan of professor and student romance stories because there is too much angst, too much doubt and secrecy for my taste, but I rather enjoyed this one! 

Rose is a bit odd if I'm to be honest. She's been a virgin for 22 years, but all of a sudden she needs to get rid of it? And when Cole says no, she's just going to give to whomever she finds? She needs to get over herself. Honestly if anyone should be accused of sexual harassment it is by far Rose as she peered pressured Cole into their 2 month "experiment". But I guess she gets that from her mother....

Cole kept saying that there was something about the women in Blackwell after getting propositioned twice in 2 days, but I think he should have said there was something about Rose's family! 

I liked Rose's grandparents a lot and I liked Clarissa. I didn't really get a feel for the other guys this series will talk about so we'll see how I feel about them when it's their turn. 

I'm glad things turned out well in the end and I think Rose and Cole will be into mischief together.

Review: The Proposal by Maya Hughes

The Proposal by Maya Hughes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

Leo and Zara are amazing characters! 

Zara is such a strong person and she's very selfless. She is doing everything in her power to give her brother, Tyler, the best education, and also keeping him away from their drunk parents. Some siblings wouldn't care, but that is Zara's sole mission in life. She even gave up her dream to be stuck in a terrible job that kinda pays the bills. I seriously love her! 

Leo has gone through a lot, from living and working his dream of a professionally football player, to having to retire early and have no idea what to do with his life. But he is such a sweetheart because he decided to help his uncle try to save their company. Even though he is by no means an event planner. 

Seeing these two flash and fight each other about small things like linens was great. The tension was high and the attraction was of the charts. The reason they got "fake engaged" was not something I expected, so I appreciated the uniqueness of this novel and the events that happened. 

Their slow burn romance didn't annoy me like most of these stories do because there was a lot of interaction, a lot of getting to know each other happened that filled the romance void. And they were always arguing over something which to me was suspenseful and foreplay. 

I also loved all of the side characters. I'm excited to see each of Leos friends (Jameson, Everest, Hunter, and August) get their own story. Jameson is the one I'm looking forward to the most! And Andi... I really hope she ends up with one of them because I love her sassiness and take no prisoners attitude!

I'm so so so glad I got to read this novel and I CANNOT wait to see what else is in store for these characters!

Review: Boss Next Door by Beverly Evans

Boss Next Door by Beverly Evans
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review.  

Chloe and Braxton are two very similar people. They both are competitive, especially with each other, and very stubborn.  Neither one of them wants to tell the other person what they are really feeling, which means they miss out on a lot of time they could have been together.  

I think that the downside of this book - I wish they would have found a way to communicate better with each other.  There was a lot of miscommunication, a lot of things said in the wrong way because they were both stewing about WHAT to say, and it was just blurted out.  

I loved that they both finally got to do what they wanted to do with their lives, but I was very frustrated with Chloe for letting her father basically bully her into working for his company, rather than what she wanted to actually do.  Braxton tried to tell her that, but did it in a very terrible way that made her mad, and they didn't talk for a few years after that.  

I'm glad that Braxton decided to do something about his anger.  I'm not sure why he was so angry like that, to be honest.  Maybe I missed something in the narrative that explained his rage at things.  Though to be fair, he only got really angry and started fighting for legit things, in my mind.  I get that Chloe has an issue with anger and lashing out, but it wasn't like it was getting mad about silly things. 

Chloe's mom and her dog and Braxton's situation was hilarious, I have to admit.  Though I would be just as livid as Braxton was if my neighbor's dog was doing what her dog was doing, so I don't blame him one bit.  It was just funny seeing them clash so much.  

I'm glad I got a chance to read this eARC novel of this book and I'm excited to read more in the future by Beverly Evans!

Review: Take My Crown by Louise Rose (G. Bailey)

Take My Crown by Louise Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

This was a great book! Ivy was put into an impossible situation and she adapted really quickly to survive this new life she was forced into. I would not have done well with that rude introduction, but Ivy figured things out pretty quickly. 

The King Academy world is full of mystery, secrets, back stabing people, money hungry desperation, and lies. I'm so glad Ivy did not grow up there, because I feel like she would have turned out like all the nasty girls there. Because of her history, she does not take money for granted, she's not walking with a superiority attitude, and she's nice. Which makes me love her. And I love Milly too.

Archer, Romeo, and Declan are all unique in their own way, but all have the same upbringing since they are heirs. I like Archer the best so far but we didn't get to really know all 3 of them fully, so that may change. 

I love Ivys decision at the end of the book. She stuck to her guns and essentially showed everyone that she meant business and wasn't going to be a pawn in anyone's game. 

I'm so excited for this series and I cannot wait for the next book!

Going from one prison to another, Izora slowly learns more secrets about her life through this second book. And she gets closer to her men too!

I forgot how crazy Eva is, and we actually see more of the crazy in this viewpoint than we did in Corvinas books.

I'm very intrigued about the keys Iz needs to find and how that will all go down. I'm also excited to see how she escapes and to see her kick butt! 

This is a great series and I'm anxious to see Izs viewpoint on how it ends :)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review.

I loved going back to this world, but seeing what happened to Izora instead of Corvina. I was worried I would get to much information about Corvinas story again, but that was not the case. This was completely Izoras storyline and I was engrossed in it.

I love the love interests: Luke, Axel, Gold and Scott. All of them are completely different from each other. And they are all very protective and jealous when it comes to Iz, so I'm curious to see how they react when she picks all of them!

This book had a lot of scenes that felt very The Hunger Games, but I enjoyed it because it was just different enough to make its it own.

I'm very excited to read book 2 and see what happens next!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: if you find this on Amazon, there is only 1 book available, with all 5 parts together, rather than 5 separate books. I got confused, and wanted to help others :)

2nd Note: I read this in all 5 serials in one book, so I'm not sure what happened in which part. I'm placing my review from the whole book in each books link:

This is a very quick read, and I enjoyed this story. Ellie is very lucky to have divorced her terrible ex-husband Drew, because he is something else! And in normal circumstances, I think the guy in a one night stand might ignore the girl he knocked up, Andre's history and his attraction to Ellie had a different outcome.

Andre, Dominic, Todd and Kaiden are great. I feel like they would be more possessive and wouldn't want to share the woman they love, but I guess their lifestyle isn't the standard life, so it makes sense.

Liz is a terrible person and I'm glad justice and karma happened to both her and Drew.

I'm really glad I got to read this book, and that I didn't have to wait for each part to be released :)

Note: if you find this on Amazon, there is only 1 book available, with all 5 parts together, rather than 5 separate books. I got confused, and wanted to help others :)

2nd Note: I read this in all 5 serials in one book, so I'm not sure what happened in which part. I'm placing my review from the whole book in each books link:

This is a very quick read, and I enjoyed this story. Ellie is very lucky to have divorced her terrible ex-husband Drew, because he is something else! And in normal circumstances, I think the guy in a one night stand might ignore the girl he knocked up, Andre's history and his attraction to Ellie had a different outcome.

Andre, Dominic, Todd and Kaiden are great. I feel like they would be more possessive and wouldn't want to share the woman they love, but I guess their lifestyle isn't the standard life, so it makes sense.

Liz is a terrible person and I'm glad justice and karma happened to both her and Drew.

I'm really glad I got to read this book, and that I didn't have to wait for each part to be released :)

Review: Everything He Needs by Jagger Cole

Everything He Needs by Jagger Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review.  

Sam and Elise are wonderful characters.  I love how Elise fought so hard against her attraction to Sam during the All He Wants novel, and it did not disappoint in this book.  Even though she can't hide her attraction, she tries oh so hard, but it's just too much to avoid anymore.  

I love when Sam was stunned it was Elise for his blind date.  I knew it was going to happen because of how they reacted to each other in Julia and Evan's story, so I was pleasantly happy when it was true.  

I do have to say, Elise did a smart play when she said like played for the other team.  Sadly being a woman, we have to lie about our persons way too much to get to a place where we want to be.  It's the same if you are single and young and everyone wants to ask you out.  Instead of being able to say "no I'm not interested" they think you are lying and playing hard to get.  But really, they should just listen to what you are saying instead of jumping to conclusions that you are being mean, cold, nasty, etc.  So I'm all for Elise making that little lie to get her way to the top of the chart and making a name for herself.  

I really loved this book and I love these characters.  Now I'm just waiting for Harlow and Savannah?!?!?! Because that sounds like a great story too!

I'm so glad I've discovered this author and have read all of his current books.  Looking forward to more!

Review: All He Wants by Jagger Cole

All He Wants by Jagger Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Julia and Evan's sorry was great! I loved that Julia started to take over for Evan when he desperately needed help and that she actually understood most of what was being said to her. And that she just did it on auto pilot to try and help. 

Evan has a lot going on, but that didn't stop him from wanting Julia. And boy does he want her. The attraction between these two is insanely crazy and I'm surprised it took as long as it did for then to cave. 

Jagger Cole is an author I automatically buy books from because I've really enjoyed his novels, and this book is in my top picks so far! Really loved it! Can't wait for future novels.

Review: The Shadow Wolf by G. Bailey

The Shadow Wolf by G. Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

This was a great series. I loved all of the characters and side characters. It was sad about the deaths that happened at the end, but Anastasia is tough and knows how to get through tough times. 

As always, I wish the battle scene was more involved and detailed. We knew it was coming and it went by so quickly in the end. 

I also wish there were more moments with Anastasia and Shadow. They have this so connecting, but there wasn't a lot of moments with just the two of them. 

Overall, I really liked this series and I'm so glad I got a chance to read this novel!

Review: The Dying Wolf by G. Bailey

The Dying Wolf by G. Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

Anastasia is going through A LOT!!! Especially for someone so young. She leaves about her complicated history of her genealogy, is forced to make a choice on where she wants to stay, a choice between her sisters, sees her older sister has changed, and is conflicted with her 3 men. I mean that is too much for one person to handle I think. 

But Anastasia does really well adjusting to every new thing that is revealed to her and she is very smart. I love Skye. Phoebe is a bit naive and, well, a kid, but Skye has been through a lot. 

I'm also super excited about that ending and I'm so glad I have book 3 to dive into! 

This is a really great series- I'm really enjoying it!

Review: The Missing Wolf by G. Bailey

The Missing Wolf by G. Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Anastasia, Alex, Liam and Mason are great characters! I love how this novel started and how it explained the familiar world before the big event happened. 

I also love how the setting is basically in the mountains and very outdoorsy and woods surrounded them. Also, Anastasia staying with the the boys is a very interesting development. 

I also really like Raine and I'm glad that Anastasia had a close girl friend after staying with all the boys. 

Alex needs to get over himself and so being so hit and cold with Anastasia. Very annoying. 

Also, I totally called who Dawn's familiar is! And I'm so excited to see what happens! I really love this world G. Bailey created!

Review: The Beautiful Series Box Set by Emery Rose

The Beautiful Series Box Set by Emery Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars 

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review.  

I am so glad that I got a chance to read this box set and meet these wonderful characters!  I love how they all intertwined and how we got to see past characters in the other novels.  I wrote a review for all three books, so I will put those into this review as well!  I definitely recommend these books to readers.  

BENEATH YOUR BEAUTIFUL: 

This is a heavy book. There was so much content in here, so many obstacles to overcome for both Eden and Killian before the happily ever after came.

I really admire Eden. She went through a crappy situation with her ex and ex-best friend. But she changed her future and went for her dreams, even if she had to do it on her own. And she's such a good person. She is always helping others, whether they want her to help or not.

I love Killian. Throughout the whole book, he's beating himself up about his past, but the moment he meets Eden, he starts to see a brighter future. He thinks he doesn't deserve her, but he can't stay away from her and finally gives in to the temptation of Eden's sunshine.

I can't believe how much stuff happened in this book! I flew through it so quickly, but now that I'm thinking about it, these two characters have gone through. Between Luke, Johnny, Joss, Adam, Conner... that's a lot to deal with in less than a year! But these two are meant to be with each other, and Eden is so stubborn that it ended very well.

BEAUTIFUL LIES: 

Conor is such a torture soul. And Ava is a strong willed person who loves fiercely. I really enjoyed reading their story after seeing them interact with each other in book 1. I also love the backstory of how they met and how protective Killian and Conor are with her.

Seeing Conor get absorbed into his art was wonderful. Instead of being tormenting by his addiction, he was able to focus that on his muse and put it into wonderful creations.

I'm glad things got better with Ava's parents and Conor. And how shocked Ava was when they had a conversation!

BEAUTIFUL RUSH: 

Kiera has grabbed my attention from the second she got introduced to this series, so I'm really glad I got to read her story! She is so brave and definitely wise beyond her years. I can't imagine having to grow up in the environment she did and then to make the decision to go against her father had to be rough.

And Deacon. He's got a rough job. I wouldn't be okay not knowing what my other half was doing for work, but I guess it works for some couples. And I loved how he just couldn't stay away from Kiera - that shows you how drawn he was to her and how deeply he cared for her.
